Here we are at the end of another trimester and it has been a great ride! I have learnt many things in the last 13 weeks like mastering, advanced studio and surround sound techniques and polished up on skills like studio etiquette, communication and time management. Actions speak louder than words, but it is with words that […]

Welcome back everyone! In last week’s blog I talked you through the method I was using to create the soundtrack for a Pacific Rim-style animation about green energy. Today I would like to share with you the finished product and describe how the audio was created, so without further ado here it is! Edits and […]

Telemann, one of the greatest composers to have ever lived and the inspiration for my composition, “Telechamber”. There is an old saying that goes “Give someone a fish and they will eat for a day, teach them HOW to fish and they will eat for the rest of their life”. In terms of composition this […]

If you have been following this blog than you may remember the post back in June, where I described the process of recording the Queensland Wind Orchestra performing in the Old Museum […]

Hi everyone! Welcome back and I hope you have been having as much fun as I have. In a previous blog, I walked you through the C24 studio of SAE QANTM, Brisbane and described how to calibrate the environment for optimum 5.1 mixing. Today, I would like show a short piece, mixed in 5.1, in […]

Using the routing method I have described in my previous blog, I have taken on the enormous task of programming Gustav Holst’s “Mars, The Bringer of War” for a MIDI sequenced orchestra. Why? Because it’s fun of course! Another reason is that in 2018, it will be the 100th year anniversary of the pieces premiere. In […]

I’m sure most of you have heard a GPS in a car before, the way it speaks to the driver, giving directions. When you miss your turn, the GPS will do a little computing and find the next best path to travel and often will say “re-routing” (I like to mimic it in a computerised […]
